I meant like ‘thank god’. But I don’t like using that phrase. So I thanked crap instead.

A way of saying, like “thank to the di**” ?
Oh good! Well luckily it´s been a while since I last prayed to the porcelain god*…
*Anyone not familar with that phrase ask the bus driver for help
You do that in italy?
How long is a while?
That reminds me***
Almost three years. I drink way less than I used to.
Yeah, see I was thinking that phrase meant something else 
Which made me 
at your response for a moment…
In Italy, when you say “thank to the di**”, it means “the answer was obvious”.

Ah okay, so you didn´t initially get it.
You see it´s the kneeling down in front of the toilet looking like kneeling in front of a shrine that creates that association. I don´t know in what languages that saying is common, probably not even widespread in german, but I like it.
How does that even make sense 
Example:
- “Oh dear! The sun is very hot today!”
- “thanks to the di**, it’s summer!”
The bad word, here, is used to remark the dumbness of the sentence…
It’s a common slang, there is probably no real meaning behind it.
Ah yes, that makes sense. I think it’s common in Brit English too, I’d just mixed up the meaning in my head.
Ah now I get it. It´s a “captain obvious” kind of thing.
Still not getting where the gratitude towards genitals come from, though.
I thought I´d heard it before and wasn´t only translating it. I can imagine you being shocked at initially reading 3 years and thought it was about 
instead of 
(thanks emojis when it comes to things like that you serve me well, while on other occasion you can´t offer me anything!)
In the german language Monty Python episode there is an entire skit about a man not having been to the toilet in five years, can´t find a clip of that one though…

You mean “driving the big porcelain bus”?
(I remember that line from a sitcom, not sure if people really use such euphemism because the word “vomit” might make them puke.
Hm… are you guys sure Zak’s not right on this? I don’t think he’s going to play again.
I’ve realised I spent the first dime I found quite a while back. I got two from the moneybank, so I don’t think that’s enough (judging from what I’m trying to do with the telescope). I think I might have to reinstate an earlier save 
I don´t think so. Even if he doesn´t play again the game might at some point have registered what you need with the arcade machine.
If you happen to initially choose the correct direction two dimes are enough.
Hm. It’s likely I’m barking up the wrong tree with the telescope then 
I thought you know what to do with the telescope already?
Look, you can just try and save and retry. The worst that can happen is that you miss an easter egg, I´m not sure you would understand (at least I didn´t have that game back then).
I thought I did, but not 100%.
If two dimes is enough I won’t bother going back to an early save (apart from to redo the telescope).
(Thanks for indulging my incessant confusion once again.)
You said you spent one already, have you moved the telescope, too and yes in which direction? Because if you moved it in the wrong one then two aren´t enough.
Oh yeah, good point. At my most recent save the telescope is centred, so maybe I didn’t spend it… now I’m confused about what I did with that first dime. The telescope is centred when you first find it, right?
Yes it is and you can move it two time left and two times right. Now do the math.
